Highlights:

"It is time for our politicians to stop hoping that helmets, hi-vis and cycle training will do enough, and to look instead across the North Sea to Holland and Denmark to see how to really encourage more cycling."

"The way in which poorly painted narrow cycle paths disapear beneath parked cars and evaporate at dangerous junctions demonstrates the paucity of imagination in the UK's approach to creating safe conditions for cycling."
